Chapter 299: A Few People Called Emperors, Several People Called Kings

"Don't mention the matter of being the emperor!" Even if he looked forward to it in his heart, Yuan Shao could only forcibly press that throbbing at this time.

He took the Son of Heaven to Yedu and re-established the center of the court. Yuan Shu did this, he had already put the Yuan family on the stove and roasted it, if he Yuan Shao came again, then his Yuan family would really be discredited and disgusted by the world.

"My lord, Yuan Shu's move has become a natural enemy of the Yedu Imperial Court. The lord holds the Son of Heaven in his hand, and Yuan Shu is challenging the imperial court, at this time, your position must be firm. Yuan Shu must be exterminated, otherwise in the long run, let Yuan Shu's country survive, then the Han Emperor will not be so effective in your hands! Xun Chen got up and said sternly.

"That's what you all think?" Yuan Shao's eyes were slightly cold, and he looked at the others.

Most of the advisors nodded, and Dong Zhao got up and said solemnly: "Not only do you want to spread the text widely and call on the princes of the world to crusade, but also quickly!" Yedu, you need to make your voice heard quickly! ”

As a loyal supporter of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", Dong Zhao naturally allowed Yuan Shu's rebellious actions to run rampant in the world.

Xu You sighed on the side and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, Cao Cao has already raised the banner of crusade against rebellion in Suiyang, and it won't be long before he will go south." The ministers, Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Jian of Jiangdong will never let go of this good opportunity, and they will definitely send troops to attack Yuan Shu together. Under the attack of these three parties, Yuan Shu is bound to be unstoppable! ”

Yuan Shao sighed leisurely: "I'm afraid that Meng De is so eager, he wants to encroach on the land of Huainan!" Now Lone can only watch him fatten himself through righteousness! ”

"That's it!" Yuan Shao said a little helplessly: "Chen Lin, you personally draft a text, summon the princes of the world to suppress the rebels, and fight Yuan Shu together!" ”

After the discussion was dismissed, Yuan Shang quietly followed Xu You and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Ziyuan, there is still some confusion, with my father's current momentum, even if he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that no one in the world can control it, right?" ”

Fang Cai Wenchou and others proposed to be the emperor, he was also excited, if Yuan Shao was the emperor, he would be the prince! One step further, that's the Prince! And then......

Turning his head to look at Yuan Shang for a while, the eagerness in his eyes could almost be condensed into substance, Xu You sighed: "The timing is not right!" ”

In the Ye Palace, Liu Xie also learned the news that Yuan Shu was called the emperor, Yuan Shao did not cover up this matter, and let it reach Liu Xie's ears, he wanted Liu Xie to know how many ambitious people there are in the world, if there is no Yuan Shao, he will not be able to do this emperor for a long time.

Liu Xie's expression was very cold, and he was a little uneasy. He could never have imagined that there would be anyone in the world who would dare to do such a rebellious act. is like Zhang Ju many years ago, but he is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and he can't make any waves.

But this time, it was Yuan Shu, the princes of the Han Dynasty today, and it was the descendants of the Yuan family. It really made Liu Xie worried, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are brothers, he is a little unsure, what Yuan Shao will react to this matter.

has experienced all kinds of hardships before, and in this Ye Palace, there is a stable place for him. No matter how the Han world collapses, he is the orthodox son of heaven, even if it is in the hands of Yuan Shao, even if he uses it, it is also the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty. According to his calculations, he endured silently, hid like a poisonous snake, and waited for Yuan Shao to reveal his flaws like Dong Zhuo, and then hit a fatal blow and regained control of the mountains and rivers.

But at this time, Liu Xie was confused and worried, he didn't know what Yuan Shao's attitude towards Yuan Shu as emperor was. Whether it is to raise troops to rebel, or to be indifferent, or to directly tear through the disguise and directly kill yourself and ascend the throne.

Sitting on the desk, Empress Dong looked at Liu Xie who was bored there with a worried face.

"Zhao Gong has arrived!" Outside, the eunuchs shouted.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Yuan Shao dressed as a prince, and behind him, Yuan Shang led dozens of armor soldiers into the hall.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Yuan Shao bowed his hand and didn't even bend his waist.

"Zhao Gong, what's the matter with entering the palace?" Liu Xie's voice trembled a little, obviously uneasy, and Yuan Shao's action made him even more worried.

Seeing Liu Xie's reaction, a smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Shao's mouth, he came here to deter him.

He said coldly: "The Yuan clan rebelled against the thief Yuan Shu and brazenly proclaimed himself the emperor, and the ministers were furious in their hearts. The edict of begging for thieves has been prepared, and the princes of the world have been sent to fight together, please use the seal of Your Majesty! ”

After speaking, he took out an edict from his sleeve and spread it in front of Liu Xie. Although the jade seal of the country is not in his hand, the Son of Heaven has other seals. Seeing Yuan Shao's intentions, although he was so domineering, Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least it proved that Yuan Shao had no intention of abolishing his self-reliance.

"The situation in the world is restless, please also ask Your Majesty to live in the palace in peace, and the minister assures that this world is still Your Majesty's! Retire! With a wave of his hand, Yuan Shao turned his head and left, holding a few edicts.

Standing outside the Ye Palace, Yuan Shao's expression was inexplicable, and he sighed for a long time. He knew in his heart that Yuan Shu was not far from defeat. He exposed such a big flaw, he was afraid that Cao Cao and Sun Jian would pounce on him like a vicious wolf and devour it all.

Although he issued an edict to ask for it, Yuan Shao had a faint voice in his heart, he hoped that Yuan Shu could last a little longer, and even survive in the face of several attacks. If Yuan Shu, the Son of Heaven, can exist for a long time, then can he also take advantage of the situation to ascend to the Ninety-Five Honor.

Emperor Symmetry, Yuan Shao, is obviously also tempted. It's just that he held back.

……

On the side of Yedu, the text of the crusade against the usurper and traitor Yuan Shu quickly spread to the world, but before the text arrived, Cao Cao had already sent troops. From Suiyang to the south, he personally led 30,000 elites into Peiguo, defeated Yuan Shu's guards Liang Gang and Li Feng in the south of Peiguo, and marched to Jiujiang. At the same time, Xiahou Yuan, who was guarding Xuzhou, also sent 5,000 troops from Xiapi to cross the Huaishui River and threaten Yuan Shu from the side.

Sun Jian in the south saw that Yuan Shu dared to claim the emperor, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he sent 30,000 land and water troops to force Niuzhu, wanting to cross the river to the north to attack Yuan Shu. Cheng Pu, who was guarding the south of the Lujiang River, moved his troops north and fought with Zhang Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang appointed by Yuan Shu.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou also sent troops and ordered Jiangxia to guard Huang Zu to command an army of 10,000 and march east from Xiling to join in the fun.

Yuan Shu hadn't enjoyed the emperor's life for long when he felt that there was fire on all sides, and the situation took a turn for the worse, which made him a little panicked.

"Hate it! These rebels really don't know the times, and they dare to openly raise troops to attack us! On the palace hall of Shouchun, Yuan Shu was angry and said angrily.

A group of civil and military ministers at the bottom stood in separate columns, wearing uniform clothing, which was different from the Han court uniform. This face project, Yuan Shu has done enough here. In the face of the angry Yuan Shu, everyone looked uneasy. Most people understand that the situation in Chengguo is not good.

Yan Xiang's eyes flashed with gloom, he had strongly opposed Yuan Shu to become emperor before, but unfortunately he couldn't resist Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu estimated that he also took this into account, and after becoming the emperor, everyone else was promoted to a knighthood, so he got a false position in the waiter.

If you are the master, you will be faithful. Yuan Shu's faint move had made Yan Xiang see the scene of his ruining city, but he was still Yuan Shu's courtier, and he had to plan for Yuan Shu.

Out of the column persuaded: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!" ”

Yuan Shu finally quieted down, looked at Yan Xiang, and had a better attitude towards him: "Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Biao have sent troops from three directions, and the situation is critical. Aiqing, do you have a plan to teach me? ”

Yan Xiang replied in a deep voice: "The enemy army is coming from three directions, but only Cao Cao and Sun Jian are the patients. Liu Biao's partial army all the way is not to worry, as long as His Majesty can block Cao Sun's second army, it should be fine! ”

"How to resist?" Yuan Shu asked anxiously.

"The enemy is attacking from the north and south, but it does not move many troops. His Majesty still has nearly 100,000 soldiers, and he can divide his troops and refuse them. Sun Jiantun in Jiangdong was in charge of Niu Zhu, and there was a shortage of major generals on the general's side, and he also asked His Majesty to send generals and heavy troops to reinforce the garrison, so as to block Sun Jian on the other side. Lujiang has Zhang Fujun, with his ability, it is enough to block Liu Sun's partial army! Yan Xiang said slowly.

"On Cao Jun's side, I also divided my troops and sent people to deal with it!" Listening to Yan Xiang's words, Yuan Shu immediately said a little excitedly.

Yan Xiang shook his head: "Huainan counties, except for Shouchun, there is no strong city to defend. If Your Majesty completely divides your troops to defend it, it will be easy to give Cao Cao a chance to break through, and Your Majesty will also experience Cao Cao's ability to use troops. The minister proposed to shrink the troops, concentrate on Shouchun, and let Cao's army in. ”

"Shouchun City is high and deep, the grain and grass are sufficient, and the Cao army has come from afar, and it must not be attacked for a long time. Moreover, the ministers heard that Cao Cao's territory was short of food, and as long as it dragged on for some time, he would retire from the army when his food was exhausted. At the same time, His Majesty can send General Chen Lan of Runan to lead the army around the back road of the Cao army, and the trouble of the Cao army can be eliminated! ”

"No!" Hearing Yan Xiang's strategy, Yang Hong next to him immediately retorted: "Shouchun is the imperial capital of His Majesty, how can you let the enemy soldiers come to the city without a fight!" ”

Yuan Shu also shook his head, and let Cao Cao attack, he couldn't do it.

"Ji Ling!" Yuan Shu called.

"The minister is here!" Ji Ling came out in response.

"I went south to Liyang with your 20,000 army and stopped Sun Jian on the other side for me, can I do it?" Yuan Shu said coldly.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!" Ji Ling immediately promised.

After thinking about it, he issued an edict: "Order Qiaowei to be the main general, Lei Bo and Chen Ji as deputy generals, lead 40,000 troops, and reject Cao Cao in the north." The crown prince Yuan Yao led the forbidden army to take charge of the defense of Shouchun City. Liang Gang and Li Feng were defeated by Peiguo, and they were temporarily imprisoned and imprisoned. ”

"No!"

The matter of the enemy was decided by Yuan Shu. Yan Xiang saw Yuan Shu's arrangement, and sighed silently in his heart, Qiao Rui is talented, but now the army's heart is turbulent, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him and Lei Bo to support them, where is Cao Cao and his opponent of the good ministers and brave generals.

"Your Majesty!" A small school hurriedly entered the temple.

"Panic, what kind of system!" Yuan Shu frowned. He seemed to have forgotten about his own hysteria before the council.

"Your Majesty, Huainan Yin Zhengtai, abandoned the official and fled north!"

There seemed to be a cloudy wind rising in the temple.

"Damn! That Zheng Tai, who was plotting against Dong Zhuo at the beginning, fled in a hurry, but I took him in! Now you dare to betray me! What a son of man! Slapped the imperial case, Yuan Shu's face was cloudy.

Previously, Zheng Tai said that he was sick and couldn't go to the court, but he agreed, and sent a special person to condole, so he turned his head and abandoned the official and fled. Named him Huainan Yin, it shows that he attaches great importance to him, how can Zheng Tai's departure make Yuan Shu not angry.

"It's all gone!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly and walked away.

……

With Yuan Shu's actions, the battle against Yuan completely kicked off, and the land of Huainan was completely caught in the flames of war. Under the rule of Yuan Shu, Huainan, which was no longer rich as it used to be, was about to be destroyed by the war.

In order to deal with the enemies in the north and south, Yuan Shu wantonly levied grain and strong men in Huainan, and sent stalls to serve as soldiers. Under the reckless force, Cao Sun was blocked.

Qiao Rui led the army to the north, stationed at the junction of Peiguo and Jiujiang, fought with Cao's army, and won a small victory at the airport. Chen Ji was sent to lead the army to deal with Xiahou Yuan in the east, but unexpectedly, Xiahou Yuan, the fierce general of Cao's army, was actually defeated by him and was driven back to Xiapi. Chen Ji attacked the strong with weakness, won the battle, took advantage of the situation to attack, and wanted to cross the river to pursue.

Sun Jian of Niuzhu was also blocked by Ji Ling, and tried to cross the river several times, but he could not make any contributions. Ji Ling was in Jiangbei and built more beacon towers to prevent Sun Jun from smuggling.

It is never easy for a large army to cross the river, even if the Jiangdong Navy Division is elite, but in the face of Ji Ling's strict defense, he does not dare to do his best to force the crossing. There were attempts to involve too many soldiers, but Ji Ling was very patient, not sure of Sun Jian's main force, and never moved lightly, which made Sun Jian a headache.

The two sides looked at each other on the Niuzhu line and confronted each other for a long time. Sun Jian was full of ambition for the land of Huainan, but it was difficult to cross the river.

Sun Jian in the south, it is difficult to move an inch; Cao Cao in the north, there is a "defeated elephant"; Lujiang Chengpu was blocked by Zhang Xun; Jiangxia Huangzu, when he left the county in the east, he hesitated and sat back to watch the success or failure.

Yuan Shu's counterattack seems to have achieved good results, and his success seems to be maintained.

Yuan Shao of Jizhou, although he did not move troops, has been silently paying attention to the war in Huainan. I was entangled and expectant. Liu Yuan was in Guanzhong, and he also wrote an edict condemning Yuan Shu for being the emperor, Mu Monkey and crown, not self-sufficient, and also paying attention to the war in Huainan like watching a play, with relish.

When the war in Huainan was in full swing, a news came out from Yizhou, which once again caused an uproar in the world.

Liu Yan is the emperor!

It was so unexpected, Liu Yan, a relative of the Han family, the Marquis of Shu, was called the emperor, and when the Son of Heaven was still in Yedu, he did this reverse move like Yuan Shu.

Liu Yan was called the emperor, which made the world lose its voice, and if the situation changes today, many people feel at a loss. This big man in the world is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

As a result of Yuan Shu, the voice of condemnation of Liu Yan was very loud. It's a pity that Liu Yan seized Yizhou and became a country of its own according to Erchuan Tianxian. No matter how happy he is, it will not cause any loss to Liu Yan.

The princes of the world shouted and scolded a few times in the air, but they couldn't do anything about Liu Yan. The world is not chaotic before Shu is chaotic, and the world has been governed by Shu and then ruled, this is not shallow.

The surrounding forces of Liu Yan, Liu Biao in the east, in the face of the chaos in the east, especially Sun Jian, the evil tiger who sometimes showed his fangs to him, would never spend his troops and cross the dangerous mountains and rivers to fight Liu Yan.

Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, well, is still honestly subservient to Liu Yan. As for Liu Yuan in Guanzhong, he has his own ambitions for Yizhou, but at this time, he is busy digesting this treasure land in Guanzhong and dealing with the invasion of the Liangzhou coalition army.

It can be said that as long as Liu Yan himself can stabilize his rule and Yizhou is not chaotic, he, the emperor, can do it rampantly, and outsiders will not be able to pose any threat to him at all.

In fact, it is precisely like this, Liu Yan has been in the benefit for so many years, he is a very skillful person, and his control over the state and county is strong enough. He called the emperor also, although there was a lot of opposition, but he suppressed it, before ascending the throne, Liu Yan sacrificed a butcher's knife in Chengdu.

Liu Yan's claim to be the emperor is eye-catching. It didn't take long for Liu Biao of Jingzhou to be called the king of Chu and establish the state of Chu "helplessly" with the joint support of Cai and Kuai families. This incident did not make too many waves in the world.
